Chris Glover Takes Over CBC Radio's Metro Morning
Toronto journalist Chris Glover, a veteran guest host, officially takes the chair on Thursday as the permanent host of CBC Radio's top-rated morning show.
Chris Glover is stepping into the host's chair at Metro Morning on Thursday, taking over one of Toronto's most influential media platforms and bringing a longtime connection to CBC's audience into the permanent role.
Glover is no stranger to the show—he's guest hosted Metro Morning multiple times and has built his career as a Toronto journalist with roots in Whitby. His appointment represents institutional continuity; Metro Morning listeners already know his voice and his approach to the city.
The show reaches hundreds of thousands of Torontonians during drive time and morning commute, making it one of the most listened-to programs in the city. For Glover, the permanent host role means guiding that conversation daily, setting the agenda for how Toronto's media landscape frames the day's news, and moderating debates that often feel personal to the city.
Meter Morning has been a launching pad for city journalists and a platform where Toronto's civic conversations happen in real time. Glover's permanent appointment signals that CBC is betting on continuity and local knowledge over external hiring or dramatic format shifts.
For the city, a trusted local voice taking a central media platform isn't trivial. It shapes what gets discussed and how.
